They have the power: Superstars share "Masters of the Universe" memories

Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler certainly thinks he’s the most powerful man in the universe these days, but believe it or not, there was a time when The Showoff looked for inspiration in places besides reflective surfaces.

“I used to watch ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’ on Saturday mornings,” Ziggler said. “He-Man was pretty jacked, so that was cool. I wanted to be He-Man. I don’t think I ever dressed up like him for Halloween, but I’ve always been into anything that has a jacked dude beating everybody up.”

One of Ziggler’s fondest Masters of the Universe memories was seeing the live-action 1987 film, and not merely because his namesake, Dolph Lundgren, was its star.

“‘Masters of the Universe’ is one of the few movies I’ve seen in theaters because usually when I go, I get kinda swarmed,” The Showoff said with a smirk. “But yeah, I’m a big He-Man fan. All of that other comic book stuff that you Internet nerds are into? Not so much.”
